Laurie Anderson "Homeland"

Great article, thanks!

Good to see so many appreciate her.

Rereading my original comment and a few more spins (of the hard drive) and I may have overstated the "narrative style". There is a dramatic return of the Voice of Authority in the 11.5 minute centerpiece "Another Day In America" but most is musical, just more subtle and ethereal with loose structure. I am liking it more and more every listen and it has the type of depth that I'll unravel over years of listens.

She is one of the very few artists that takes me far away with the first sound of her voice. Maybe some of it's me and the years of hearing her but it's so hypnotic and moves me into another place...and only her music, her voice, can get me there.

Funny you mention the extension...your amps and woofers will get a workout on track one for certain.

Also some appearances from Antony. He has become the TPain of the Avant Guard! For a while, Tpain was on every R&B single recorded and popping up in every video...Antony is on every artsy compilation or avant guard record out there thee days. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan (Antony not TPain)!

Jax...I have some lesser known offerings from Antony you can check out:

The Jamie Saft Trio Plays Bob Dylan - Antony does a version of Living the Blues.

Dark Was the Night, Compilation - Antony contributes I Was Young When I Left Home with Bryce Dressner (The National...I think). Crazy great song/performance!

I'm Not There, soundtrack - Haunting version of Knockin On Heavens Door from Antony & the Johnson's.

More but those are one's I have off the top of my head....

Jax do you have the "I Fell In Love With A Dead Boy" EP/CDS?

it is really something, one of my favorites by Antony. Especially the last track,"Soft Black Stars". I only have a FLAC file though, no disc....

No, not HDCD.
